Approve Reform Os Catholic Worship
VATICAN CITY (UPI) — Ecumenical Council fathers today overwhelmingly approved a series of proposals for reform of Catholic worship, including greater insistence on preaching the word of God. The fathers voted at today’s session on five of 19 pending amendments to the second chapter of a document on the liturgy or public worship of the church. Voting on the document, which was discussed for three weeks at the council’s first session last fall, will continue Wednesday. The results were tabulated on four of today’s ballots and showed that all passed by great majorities. The largest negative vote east on any one of them was 31 votes out of 2,298. The most important of the amendments approved today was designed to put much greater emphasis in Catholic worship on sermons, which always have occupied the central role in Protestant worship but in the past often have been regarded as an option-

( a' appendage to the Catholic Mass The proposal approved today said that sermons should nevgr be omitted except for serious reasons. It emphasized the importance of the priest using every Sunday Mass as an opportunity to explain the Christian faith and Christian living. The document said priests should base their sermons on the Bible and make extensive use of Scripture in all of their preaching. Another major amendment approved today is aimed at simplifying the rubrics or order of service of the Mass. It calls for omitting certain duplications and eliminating non - essential things which have been tacked on to the Mass over the centuries. A council press spokesman said the other changes approved today were largely technical and matters of terminology of no general interest. Still to come are a series of amendments authorizing the use of modern languages instead of Latin in a large portion of the Mass. The proposed changes would permit national or regional conferences of bishops to authorize use of “vernacular”—the everyday language of the people — in most of the so-called "fore-Mass,” the portion of the service which comes before the offertory. In an American church, for example, worshippers might find English used in the reading of the Gospel and Epistle, in certain prayers, and in some of the congregation’s chants such as the Creed, the Gloria and the Sanctus. Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta, Ga., a member of the council’s liturgical commission, said all changes under consideration are aimed at promoting “intelligibility and lay participation.” “We are not making changes just for the sake of change,” he said. Consumer Council Endorses Tax Cut — * WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Consumer Advisory Council today endorsed President Kennedy’s proposals for an income tax cut and a ban on discrimination in public accommodations. The 11-member group, created by Kennedy a year ago to give the consumer a voice in government, set forth recommendations in its first annual report to the Whitehouse. The report also came out strongly for two other administra-tion-backed measures — the socalled '“truth-in-packaging” and "truth-in-lending” bills now pending in congress. The council not. only supported a tax cut but suggested that an even larger reduction than the proposed sll billion slash might be needed along with greater benefits for small taxpayers. “Since it is the low income consumers who have the greatest unmet needs and who are most likely to spend a higher percen tage of the additional money which a tax cut would permit them to retain, the major cuts should come in the taxes of the small taxpayer,” the report said. The council, headed by Dr. Helen G. Danoyer, dean of Cornell University’s College of Home Economics, said that racial barriers at hotels, department stores and restaurants amount to a de- . nial of “the consumer’s basic I right to choose.”

Haiti Devastated Haiti was devastated by the storm with an estimated onethird of the Negro Republic’s 3 million population affected. Entire villages were destroyed and crops were wiped out. An estimated 2,000 bodies had been recovered on Haiti and officials estimated 4,000 persons in all had died on the island. Casualty reports began trickling in from the remote areas of hard-hit eastern Cuba. Broadcasts said at least 15 died in the town of Manzanillo alone.

(UPf)— Sen. Paul Douglas, D-111., has told the Save the Dunes Council he and Indiana's two senators expect to introduce a bill “within a few aays” to create an Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore area. Council spokesmen said they received a letter from Douglas Monday indicating he and Sens. Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh will join hands to Co-sponsor the measure as proposed by the Budget Bureau and the National Park Service. Hartke and Bayh, on the one side, and Gouglas, on the other, ■have been at odds for months over establishment of a Lake Michigan port at Burns Ditch, but a recent report by the Budget Bureau suggesting both a port and a national park seems to have reduced the tension between the port backers and opponents. “I am confident that we will be joined in sponsorship of this legislation by other senators as well,” Douglas wrote.

AF Cadet Program To Be Discontinued The aviation cadet program, for many years the primary source of pilots and navigators for the Air Force, will be discontinued in the near future. Future pilots and navigators will be selected through the officers training program. Sgt. Bert Crosby, local Air Force recruiter, located at the selective service office inn Decatur, released this information today. Through the aviation cadet program, a young man with 60 semester hours of college work, between the ages of 19 and 27%, and in good physical condition, can enter the program and become a commissioned officer as a navigator. In the office training program the educational qualifications are much higher, requiring an applicant to be a college graduate. No definite date has been announced for discontinuing aviation cadet applications at this time. However, it has been released that March, 1964, will be the last starting date of the classes. It takes approximately two weeks for an applicant to complete final qualifications and processing prior to submission of applicant for selection. This means that persons presently qualified to enter this program must be qulaified and selected for the class prior to Jan. 31, 1964. Normally an applicant is selected and notified six weeks prior to class entry date. “Many of our “war aces” in World War II and Korea and some of our well known Air Force officers of today entered the Air Force through the aviation cadet program,” Sgt. Crosby stated. "Look into this program today before it closes if interested.” Complete information concerning both the limited aviation cadet program and the officer training school program can be obtained by contacting Sgt. Bert Crosgy, located at the selective service office, 130% N. 2nd St., Decatur on Monday or Thursday of each week, or call Decatur 3-3604. Record Attendance At Cub Pack Meet Lincoln Cub Pack 3061 met Thursday evening at the Lincoln school auditorium with a record attendance of both parents and Cubs. The meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance being recited by the group and led by Cubmaster Judge Myles F. Parrish. To begin the season’s Cub Scout program, Kenneth Erhart led the Clubs in their favorite song, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” Mike Allison accompanied the group on the piano. He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Allison and has achieved the rank of Wolf in Cub Scouting. Judge Parrish explained the purposes and principles of the Cub Scout program and emphasized the meaning qf the Cub Scout promise, which he said is very simple but has deep meanings. • Explains Goals In explaining the goals of the pack and the duties of parents and all boys, the Judge said, “As Americans we should be concerned about doing a top-notch job of teaching our boys what America staiids for.” “Out of every hundred boys born in the world,” he continued, “only five .are born in the United States, the other ninety-five are divided among all the countries and continents of the world.” “The five born in this country are all we have to move the world toward brotherhood and to sell our way of life . . . Scout training can and should be a natural step toward this purpose,” he said. Six new boys made applications to join the Lincoln pack, including Tim Allwein, Terry Colter, Tim Sharpe, Jon Kenneth Doan, Greg Borne and Joel Carlson. A Bob Cat ceremony will be held Saturday afternoon at the Boy Scout cabin at Hanna-Nuttman park for all new Cubs and all boys who register before Saturday. Application blanks may be obtained at the Lincoln school from Hubert Zerkel, Jr., principal.

Predict Good Year On Farms In 1964
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Agricultural economists unveiled their annual forecast of the year ahead for Indiana farmers Monday night by predicting “another good year in 1964.” The Purdue University specialists, launching a yearly series of 65 outlook meetings around the state, said net income of Hoosier farmers for the net 12 months probably will about equal that of the past year “with a possibility it may run a little higher.” The indications for Indiana farmers were in line with prospects for farm income throughout the country. On- the general business front, the economists expect a “continued moderate advance for the non-farm economy.” Returns from corn, hogs or dairy are not expected to change much next year. However, wheat and beef cow herds may show less profit. A further rise is expected in soybean prices and returns from cattle feeding may improve. s ( Higher Costs Ahead Hoosier farmers will continue to have trouble finding “good hired farm labor” and purchased production items will “reflect the upward pressure of higher manufacturing costs,” the report said. The analysis included these predictions: Corn—Harvest time price will average somewhat higher than in recent years. A summer-titne

average in the sl.lO to $1.20 range is expected. Soybeans—Prices expected to average $2.65 to $2.70 a bushel in the 1964 crop marketing year. Protein supplement will be 10 to 20 per cent higher, too. Hogs—Prices will average about the same as in the last year. A weakness is expected early next spring and some strengthening into the summer—similar to the 1963 price pattern. Beef cow herds—Outlook less profitable. Further calf crop increases will put added downward pressure on feeder cattle prices. But efficiently operated cow herds will make moderate returns. Better Profits Seen Cattle feeding—Some slight improvement in profits expected on cattle purchased this fall and sold from next January to September. Fat cattle prices will average about the same as in the past year. Feed costs will be up slightly. Dairy—Little change expected in milk prices or dairy profits. Support levels will continue at about same level as in past year, barring new legislation. Laying flocks—Egg prices will average 1 to 2 cents per dozen lower. Not every encouraging for small flock owners. Broilers—Prices only slightly below last year’s levels if recent self-imposed production restraints are maintained. Turkeys—This year’s crop ex-

Apples — Commercial growers will receive slightly higher prices'' than the 1962 crop $2.05 per bushel average.

Production item prices—lndex of production item prices, interest and wages expected to increase 1 to 2 per cent. No significant change expected for prices of farm supplies, building and fence materials, fertilizer and motor supplies. Wheat—Prices likely to continue near $1.82 loan rate. If no new legislation is passed for the 1964 crop, expect Indiana farm pribes in the $1.30 to $1.50 range. Ukrainian Churches, Prayer Houses Closed MOSCOW (UPI) — Two hundred churches and prayer houses have been closed in the past three years in one section of the western Ukraine, the Soviet communist party newspaper Pravda an-i nounced Monday. The closings resulted, Pravda said, from the “very intensive education work of the party.” The area involved was Volynia, a district absorbed into the Soviet Union from Poland after World War 11.
